The Siberian Husky is a very social dog who seeks the companionship of other dogs or people. They are welcoming to strangers and may not make the best guard dog. It will not do well as a single dog if there are long periods when no one is at home. The Husky is great with children, but may "bump" them in their exuberance to play. They accept other pets especially if raised with them from puppyhood. A very intelligent dog with a need to run. Will do better if able to roam and run in a controlled situation. A city dog will want lots of exercise and social contact.
